Styling Taken Care Of…
Love our look? It’s a proper love affair…
Each vessel, each candlestick has been chosen with care, found in unlikely places - over nearly 2 decades of collecting.
Always antique or at least authentic vintage - it’s the colour of the glass that matters, it’s the pattern and patina on brass that lights our heart…It’s never the new, never obvious...
For your wedding - we include the most stunning seasonal blooms and real wax candles and our trademark brass and carved wood candlesticks - alongside all of the antique curiosities you find in our spaces...
“We were also really impressed with the styling of the venue. We brought a few small items of our own, and the team knew exactly how to place them to make everything look stunning.” Megan & Eric
“We were so happy with the styling the team did, they took everything we brought and made it a million times better than we imagined it. There was so much attention to detail!” Laura & Josh
“I think what's most impressive is how the day felt completely like it had our stamp on it, and guests commented how much it reflected us as a couple, yet we both didn't feel the effort required to make that happen. We could just share our thoughts and the magic was made by the team” Sarah & Nic
"The beauty of the venue meant that we could leave the dressing of the venue in the very safe hands of The Chimney House team." Michelle & Rob
"Best Food at a Wedding…”
We are influenced by a month by month account of the year and all that it brings - weather, harvests, tides, foraging, optimal growth times and peak picking times!
We are champions of ultra fresh produce, pickling, preserving, fresh bread and cake baking and of course working with the best ingredients and suppliers that we can find.
“The food was to die for, and is something our guests are still raving about. One thing that initially attracted us to the menu was the use of local produce and suppliers. The banquet style delivery of the meal worked really well, and everything tasted brilliant. The attention to detail was phenomenal! The team are very accommodating, we asked for an adjustment to the menu and they didn't hesitate.” Paige & Tom
“Thank you for making our dream a reality- big thank you for the incredible food! It was definitely a talking point of the wedding.” Isabel & Ryan

“We will also probably be thinking about the food for the rest of our lives, and we feel extremely smug about how many people said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had.” Nadia & Ben
We are also more than happy to cater for you and your guests dietary requirements, we want everyone to have a truly delicious meal.
